Downloading multiple csv files from a website

[tkpmep]

I'd like to download data from the website
http://www.russell.com/Indexes/perfo..._values_US.asp. On
this web page, there are links to a number of .csv files, and I'd like
to download all of them automatically each day. The file names are not
visible on the page, but if I click on a link, a csv file opens in
Excel. I've searched this group and looked into urllib, but have not
found functions or code snippets that will allow me to download and
rename each file. Would someone kindly point me to appropriate
libraries/functions and/or code snippets that will get me started?

Thanks in advance

Our systems administrator suggested that I try wget, a GNU utility
that is designed to pick up data. It might prove to be the easiest way
to get the data I want, and I am going to try that first.

Thanks again.
